TANK GIRL - BAD WIND RISING - Hardcover Collection out NOW!
Our lovely collection of our mini series TANK GIRL - BAD WIND RISING is out now, in a beautiful hardback collection from Titan Books.
I’m enormously proud of this series, and I think it’s a beautiful swan song for me leave TANK GIRL on.
I’d like to thank Sofie ‘Danger’ Dodgson who coloured the series and really went beyond the call of duty, Steve ‘De Nada’ White my incredibly very patient editor, Lori Petty for always having the keys to the tank, Nicola ‘Bang Tidy’ Bell for making me smile, and Christian ‘Big Daddy’ Krank who is always supportive, a great friend, and coloured the other Tankie series.
Also thanks to Nicole ‘Super’ Powers for her unwavering support and always banging the drum, Alix ‘Foxy McFoxilicios’ Fox for being bubblier than a crate of shaken champagne, Sarah ‘Hattie’ Watson for being Tankie on the cover of Issue 3.
Most importantly, I’d like to thank all of you for supporting us, buying our books, turning up at the signings and Cons, and all the lovely mail I’ve received. You have no idea how much it’s appreciated.
I’ve loved working on TANK GIRL, it’s been a blast.
I’m very excited about the new opportunities ahead… working with Vertigo at DC Comics, doing stuff for 2000ad, designing stuff at ThreeA Toys, and working on my own series, SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK!
You can order the hardback on Amazon really cheap…

A very Merry Christmas to One and All.
I’d like to thank everyone for their tremendous love and support this year… it’s been incredibly appreciated.
2011 has been a funny year…. Amazing highs, and some really crumby lows… but as my Dad taught me, change just brings new opportunities… and some INCREDIBLE doors have opened for me.
You really find out who your friends are when you need them… and I have been truly blessed.
My love to Garry Leach and Una Fricker, who are always there for me, no matter how stupid I am.
Fin and Sev, who are truly the best most beautiful people I know. Talent, charm, and love… what more could I ask for?
Thanks to my Parents and family, who are never anything less than 150% supportive. I can never repay you. You are all such inspirational people.
Sofie and Chris, the coolest couple I know. Hell on wheels…. and water.
Alix Fox, who’s unerring enthusiasm, warmth,loyalty, and utter loveliness makes my heart burst with happiness.
Ashley Wood, who’s generousity„ humour, and fellow misanthropic allegiances,will help enable us to take over the world in 2012.
Mick and Chris McMahon, who inspire me, and always make me come away feeling special.
RM Guera, for being a source of wisdom, and calm in my mini-brainstorms… and his fab daughter Maria for drawing the best pictures with me, ever. xxx
The lovely people at 2000ad, Image, Ankama, IDW, and Steve White at Titan… you are fabulous, and thanks all for your patience and help this last year.
Love to all the Peanutters, Fish Island people, and all my wonderful artist and writer friends I’ve met this year at shows and Conventions, I feel ridiculously lucky to have met you all.
Most of all thanks to all the people who’ve taken time to get in touch, come to meet me at shows, emailed, left messages, and been so so so supportive. I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
I hope You all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your families, and loved ones.
Let’s make 2012 the best ever.
I have lots of exciting news to announce… it’s going to be an incredible year.
Love to each and everyone of you!
Your friend,
XXXX Rufus

‘MY DRUG BUDDY…’
Original Acrylic Painting by TANK GIRL series artist Rufus Dayglo.
This is the original art to an upcoming Print edition, and promotional poster.
Rufus relaunched/resurrected TANK GIRL 5 years ago with writer Alan Martin, previously he’d worked on 2000ad and IDW comics, and as one of the animation team on the Gorillaz band pop promos.
Art is 12 x 16 inches on Ampersand Gesso Board.
I’ve written a full blog with lotsa picture on how NOT to paint a picture… as evidenced here..
XXX Ruf…. Team Stupid.
MY DRUG BUDDY….
Think I’ve actually finished this little painting!
I started it a month ago, as a quick little thing….and it quickly went wrong. I drew the linework in with a pen that wasn’t waterproof, and when i underpainted it…it smeared evvvvverywhere!
So..I had to seal it with spray…and draw over… it was a massive pain in the arse…and time wise, I’d have been better starting again.
But it was a nice thing to work on in the evenings when my friend Alysha Nett was visiting!
I might sell this… trying to decide… it’s sat for a month on my kitchen table…and I’ve become oddly fond of this annoying little bugger.
I’ll scan it properly tonight and upload!
